Relationship Team:

Developed the following SELT Relational Philosophy:“All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ, for he himself will say: I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Matthew 25:35)

It is the intention of the relationship team to identify and implement activities that serve to help each member of the SELT community more fully understand and demonstrate the Benedictine value of hospitality. We specifically assert that SELT participants commit, by membership, to demonstrate a “deep respect for the individual person, a commitment to the development of each person, and the persuasive attention to the needs of the individual.

In an ongoing pledge to hospitality – to “listening with the ear of your heart” – SELT team members and guests are encouraged to contact a member of the relationship team for discussion about hospitable or inhospitable experiences related to SELT gatherings. Unless otherwise indicated by overt agreement, all such discussions will remain confidential.
